Sofía Fernández Blanco (b. 1988, Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an artist and researcher based in Amsterdam. In 2023, she graduated from the Unstable Media department at Rietveld Academie. Her practice revolves around interrogating the stability of the boundaries that contain and separate events, entities, disciplines, times and spaces. Through extensive ecological, historical, geographical, and anthropological research, she creates films and audiovisual installations that bring to the fore the entanglements between different regimes of knowledge and power. Apart from her work as an artist, Sofía writes pieces for different academic and art magazines, as well as contributes to research groups.
